QuotesOnComics.com, run and curated by Paulo Patrício, is exactly what its name says it is: a website with random quotes on comics, some hilarious, some dead serious, others thought-provoking, but all stimulating and thoroughly inspirational.

Press & Mentions

“On Thursday and it was Erik Larsen talking about a Grant Morrison quote (he was supporting it) and yesterday/early this morning it was Ryan K Lindsay pointing out the site as an interesting resource which it is. Quotes are always fun and interesting because it’s just a nugget of what’s actually said. Because of that it can be reinterpreted in different ways.”

Notes & Acknowledgements

Version 4.0
Went live on April 1, 2017, with a new design and featuring post tags (whoa!).

Version 3.1
On July 23, 2013, we reached 1000th quotes, to celebrate that we launched a generative comic using 4 random quotes out of our database. Several responsive issues were fixed.

Version 3.0
Online as of May 14, 2013, based upon Version 1.0 – i.e. with a “random button”. Right/left key navigation between posts implemented, but most importantly, QuotesOnComics.com it is now responsive.Authors are now listed in alphabetical order. Special thanks to Mr. Fred for all his help.

Version 2.0
Went live on February 21, 2013, adopting a blog-style format, but with random quotes.

Version 1.0
Launched on March 3, 2009, was inspired by QuotesonDesign.com, QuotesOnComics.com was created in WordPress, using a template modified from Blue Kino by Kino, with additional programming by José Carvalho.
Thanks to José Rui, owner of Mundo Fantasma comic book store, for the motivation. Special thanks to those who tested the site version 1.0 before launch and provided useful feedback: Kate Bailey, Marco Riciputi, Roman Cho, Amelia Anthony and Gérard Blanchet.

A very special thanks goes out to Matt Madden for his ongoing support and advice.

Nice idea. Some suggestions:
Place a “question mark” icon next to each contributor which allows one to click through to research who the source is.

Alphabetize the author index by last name. Redesign to make it easier to scan, perhaps as a list.

If possible, index the quotes so that keyword searching is possible.

And here’s a submission from President Clinton:
““When the other speakers were talking, I was sitting up here on the platform, listening and reveling. And they got talking about work, and I got to thinking about all the different things I’ve done to make a
living in my life. When I was 13, I made a very foolish short-term business investment: I set up a comic book stand and sold two trunks full of comic books. Made more money than I had ever had in my life. But if I had saved those trunks, they’d be worth $100,000 today. [Laughter]”

(President Reagan was a fan of the funny pages. Eisenhower (and other presidents) were honored by the National Cartoonists Society.)

A search function was already planned, is now being tested and will be added soon. Sorting the author index by last name would be useful, I will give it a thought. I didn’t understand the “question mark icon” bit, sorry.
